Pros y Contras de Global Mapper

I like how well the software can display a multitude of file formats and it is also able to convert large files into other formats. The software has a ton of features that I don't take advantage of, I just haven't been to the training on it in several years and currently can't afford more training.

I don't love the Overlay Control Center. It is not as easy to use as something like the Table of Contents in ArcMap. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Global Mapper is a great and inexpensive tool for a lot of GIS tasks, particularly those related to elevation data. It is very easy to visualize 3d features or terrain models, and to generate contours, as well as many other tasks. And the speed of its performance and processing is great. Blue Marble has also made it easy to add data from internet sources like state and federal agencies. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I think Global Mapper's strong suits are related to its analysis functions; I would still use other products for map production and design tasks. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The software is quick at generating elevation contours from point cloud data. It also does a good job of bringing in base maps. Some of the measurement tools are pretty helpful when trying to show strike and dip of geologic features, such as drawing oriented lines. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

There is little customization that can be easily executed with the drawing tools (lines, points, labels, etc.) I've learned to use what's there however certain things could make it much more user friendly. Selecting multiple items you've already created can be problematic. Also if you want to edit a group of features on the same layer and then change a subset of them, you have to go through each individual feature to make edits. It is very tedious and would be advantageous to be able to select a few features and edit them as a group. Another feature that can't edited easily is the title block. Although this may seem insignificant, it forces the user to use other software to complete a map, figure, or other item he or she creates. We have brought maps made in GM into powerpoint in order to be able to fully customize it. Particularly, a customizable scale that could be set to equal certain increments, such as xyz = 1 inch would be useful. It seems a shame that a high tech software doesn't have these basic edits.

Me encanta la cantidad de conjuntos de datos que puede manejar de inmediato, la forma en que se apoya: correcciones de errores mucho más rápidas que cualquier otro software de empresas de software más grandes. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La interfaz desordenada puede volverse bastante molesta para trabajar. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La interfaz es un poco diferente de otros productos, por lo que lleva un poco de tiempo acostumbrarse. Además, tienes que recordar que algunas funciones están a unos niveles más abajo en los menús. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Su capacidad para manejar y convertir conjuntos de datos grandes y variados. Parece que puede cargar casi cualquier tipo de datos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Creo que la interfaz se ve un poco anticuada. Una actualización en esa área podría ayudar. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La interfaz intuitiva y directa. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Los menús y los desplegables parecen necesitar una actualización de la interfaz gráfica. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The best this about global mapper that i like is being able to bring in my shapefiles and convert them to KMZ/KML files, becasue not everyone can use ArcGIS like myself, so we give engineering a KMZ file to use in google earth. And vise versa, Engineers create KMZ files while out in the field and i can use global mapper to convert those files in ArcGIS shapefiles. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Seems like a new version comes out every month :) Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

My favorite part of Global Mapper is that it is user-friendly - unlike some other mapping products out there. It is also very versatile. I use it in many aspects of my job. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
